    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC349/2014

    Given the serious and multiple aggravating features (careful planning, use of knives, number of offenders, importation of four Mainland participants, resistance to arrest and injury to police, and victims being a vulnerable money exchange business), the starting point of 12 years and the individual enhancements applied by the judge were within the appropriate range and properly reflected individual culpability; the guilty plea discount was correctly applied; therefore leave to appeal against sentence was refused.

    R. v. LUN KWOK KEUNG

    Citation
    R. v. LUN KWOK KEUNG
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC74/1995

    The Court held that the trial judge properly assessed the gravity of the indecent assault (including violence causing unconsciousness) and the applicant's deliberate resistance to arrest; the guilty plea was appropriately credited reducing an otherwise six-year term to four years and the concurrent one-year terms for the assaults on police to yield an effective five-year term; the sentences, though at the top of the range, were not outside the range and the application for leave to appeal was refused.
